Barcelona midfielder Gavi is to undergo surgery on his injured meniscus after other treatment failed to resolve his problem, the Catalan giants said yesterday.

The 21-year-old midfielder has not played since late August due to the problem and the club said he would undergo an arthroscopy on the knee on Tuesday.

It is the same knee in which he suffered a torn cruciate ligament and another meniscus injury in 2023.

Having first received a “conservation course of treatment” in a bid to fix the problem, Gavi was put through “intense sports stress tests” on Sunday, the La Liga champions said.
